Europe to send a diplomat team to Ukraine talks as leaders push for a voice
European Council President Antonio Costa said the continent will be represented by the EU and five members of the "coalition of the willing" that backs Ukraine: the U.K., France, Germany, Italy and Poland.
Europe plans to send a team of five country diplomats and the European Union to upcoming Ukraine peace negotiations, according to European Council President Antonio Costa. The European Council President said this team will be representative of the continent and all the members of the coalition of the willing supporting Ukraine: the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Poland.
At a summit in Dublin, leaders debated whether Europe should be represented by one person or a team to avoid being sidelined by the U.S.-backed process. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has promised Europe a voice in the talks, as they fear being left out and vulnerable to Russia's influence if they only engage with the U.S. administration.
